Merchant's Cove is SO fun! I love that everyone has a different mini-game to attract customers: it means players all get a unique experience in the same playthrough. I'll eventually perfect being the Alchemist... @JPacCantin @SmallCaveGames @dr_vil @FinalFrontierG @sanibabodoge

I got to try out The Sixth Realm, thanks to the folks at @FinalFrontierG . Jerod & I returned to the world of Merchant's Cove, but this time, discovered a long-hidden island realm of guilds. The game involves interacting with these guilds for points. Kickstarter coming in April!

Solani コマとボード(マット)がめっかわ！と思ったらパズルがガチめにキツくていいやん！ってなった。 星(丸)と星間(十字)コマを取って配置していくだけなのだが、得点できるように配置するのが苦しい…！所要時間も程良い感じで再チャレンジしたくなった🪐

“Merchants Cove” was recently released in Poland. It’s a great euro game. One of my all time favorites! I also backed the new expansion on Kickstarter. And I can’t wait to get “Bardwood Grove”, another game set in the same universe 🔥 #gryplanszowe #boardgames @FinalFrontierG
